Employee Tracking Devices & Satellite Solutions

Vismo's Devices Feature Tailored Tracking Solutions Designed for Immediate Results

Choosing the right employee safety device or employee tracking device for your workforce will depend on the type of work they do, where they operate, and the risks they may face.

Vismo’s range of dedicated, fit-for-purpose lone worker devices and connectivity solutions are an alternative way to ensure lone worker safety can be monitored - no matter how remote the area is. For many organisations, the Vismo Locate & Protect App on a standard smartphone is the most flexible solution. But where mobile coverage is limited, where staff work in hazardous environments, or where a dedicated device is operationally preferred, Vismo’s hardware range fills that gap.

Satellite Devices

Vismo’s range of lone worker devices and satellite communicators ensure your teams are safe no matter how remote the area is, anywhere in the world. These dedicated lone worker safety devices operate via satellite networks rather than mobile coverage - making them the right choice for oil and gas field workers, humanitarian teams, remote engineers, and anyone else whose work takes them beyond the reach of a cellular signal.

Each device functions as a lone worker alarm device with SOS alert capability, GPS location tracking, and two-way messaging - feeding data directly into the Vismo Secure Portal for real-time visibility. For a lone worker GPS tracking device that works anywhere on the planet, the satellite device range is Vismo’s answer.

Satellite Airtime

Using a lone worker monitoring device out of the country or in a remote location requires an active satellite airtime package. Vismo’s satellite airtime plans allow you to keep your workforce connected at all times - providing the data connectivity that satellite devices need to transmit location fixes and alerts back to the Vismo Secure Portal.

eSIM

Vismo’s business eSIM solution offers a cost-effective and easy-to-deploy way to improve cellular coverage for travellers and remote workers - or to improve business continuity for organisations operating across multiple regions. All modern smartphones are able to add eSIM capability and Vismo can enable this over the air with a simple QR code — no SIM swap, no device recall required.

A Consultative Approach to Device Integration

Vismo’s device range is the starting point, not the ceiling. If your organisation already uses a specific device - whether a third-party GPS tracker, a bespoke satellite communicator, or specialist hardware suited to your industry - Vismo will always explore integrating it into the platform. The goal is to make Vismo work around your operations, not the other way around.

This consultative model extends beyond hardware. Vismo regularly builds bespoke features for clients - capability that is developed to meet a specific operational need and structured into the contract as part of the ongoing relationship. Recent examples include:

An API integration with an access barrier system, enabling real-time entry and exit data to feed directly into the Vismo Secure Portal alongside GPS location

A travel visualisation overlay for a global pharmaceutical client, mapping employee travel itineraries against live threat intelligence feeds for at-a-glance risk assessment

If you have a device you need integrated, a data feed you want connected, or a workflow that doesn’t quite fit an off-the-shelf solution, talk to the Vismo team. The most valuable features in Vismo’s platform have often started as a conversation with a client about a problem they couldn’t solve elsewhere.

What is a lone worker device?

A lone worker device is a dedicated piece of hardware - separate from a smartphone - designed to monitor the safety and location of an employee working alone. Unlike app-based solutions, a lone worker device typically operates independently of mobile networks, making it suitable for remote, offshore, or off-grid environments. Vismo’s satellite devices are purpose-built lone worker safety devices with GPS tracking, SOS alerting, and two-way messaging over satellite networks.

When should an organisation use a lone worker device instead of the app?

The Vismo Locate & Protect App on a standard smartphone is the right solution for most organisations. A dedicated lone worker device is the better choice when: employees work in areas with no mobile coverage; the working environment requires a ruggedised or intrinsically safe device; or the organisation has a policy against using personal smartphones for safety monitoring. The two approaches are complementary - many organisations use both, depending on which team members are working in which environment.

What is a satellite communicator and how does Vismo’s work?

A satellite communicator is a device that sends and receives messages and location data via satellite networks rather than mobile towers. Vismo’s satellite devices function as both a lone worker alarm device and a satellite communicator - enabling two-way messaging, SOS alerts, and GPS location fixes that are transmitted to the Vismo Secure Portal in real time, regardless of where in the world the employee is operating.

Does Vismo offer a lone worker GPS tracking device?

Yes. Vismo’s satellite device range includes purpose-built lone worker GPS tracking devices that provide accurate location fixes via satellite. Unlike consumer GPS trackers, these devices are integrated into the Vismo platform - meaning location data, alerts, and check-ins all flow directly into the Vismo Secure Portal, alongside data from any smartphone-based users on the same account.

What satellite airtime package does Vismo provide?

Vismo offers satellite airtime subscription packages specifically designed for use with its satellite device range. These packages provide the data connectivity required for location tracking and alert transmission when devices are operating outside mobile coverage - whether in remote wilderness, at sea, or in regions with no cellular infrastructure. Contact Vismo for package options tailored to your fleet size and operational geography.

What is a business eSIM and how does Vismo deploy it?

A business eSIM is an embedded SIM that can be activated and configured remotely - without physically swapping a SIM card. Vismo can provision an eSIM directly to an employee’s existing smartphone via a QR code, improving cellular coverage in areas where their standard network is weak or unavailable. This makes it ideal for organisations with travelling employees who need reliable connectivity for the Locate & Protect App and lone worker monitoring tools to function effectively.
